Wolves star has audition for Man Utd move in January at Old Trafford today

Wolves take on a Manchester United side struggling for goals and Matheus Cunha may well be the answer.

Matheus Cunha has built an impressive resume with stints at RB Leipzig, Hertha Berlin, and Atletico Madrid, and his talent suggests he could thrive at a more ambitious club than Wolves.

The Brazilian forward joined Wolverhampton Wanderers permanently in the summer of 2023 after a six-month loan, quickly becoming a standout player in a struggling squad.

Capable of playing across the attacking line, Cunha’s versatility and skillset align well with Ruben Amorim’s tactical system.

On Boxing Day, the 25-year-old might find himself performing what could double as a transfer audition for Manchester United, who are reportedly among the clubs interested in him.

This season, Cunha has contributed nine goals and three assists, showcasing his value to Wolves.

While his current club hopes to retain him, interest from top clubs like United, Arsenal, and Tottenham has been growing.

Wolverhampton is eager to open contract negotiations, intending to make Cunha the highest-paid player at Molineux to stave off interest from suitors.

However, the player himself has fueled speculation about his future by liking a social media comment that suggested a move to United.

Cunha's potential departure would not come cheap. His current Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €25.3 million, though Wolves would likely demand significantly more.

The club acquired him from Atletico Madrid for €50 million in 2023, a figure that reflects his growing stature in European football.

Tottenham, in particular, has identified Cunha as a key transfer target.

The North London side is in search of a versatile forward to bolster their attack and views Cunha as an ideal fit.

Spurs are reportedly prepared to engage with the player’s representatives to make their interest concrete.

Alongside Cunha, Tottenham also remains interested in Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, as part of a broader strategy to enhance their attacking options.

Adding intrigue to Cunha’s future, he faces a potential suspension after being charged by the FA for an altercation following Wolves’ 2-1 loss to Ipswich.

The incident, where he was seen grabbing an opposing staff member’s glasses, adds an unexpected twist to his season.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Cunha’s strong performances and rising profile make him a coveted asset.

Whether he remains at Wolves or moves to a top-tier club will be one of the key narratives to watch in the months ahead.
